I love this so much. I'd love to find one with sound. In the meantime I'm just watching this over and over humming the Rocky theme.

Yeah, a lot of people probably thought everything was fine and didn't even seen the gaff thanks to the curtain guy's quick thinking.

I do wonder if they should first work on an Ai driven automated curtain though before making the next AIDOL, you really can't trust that every curtain guy will have such catlike Reflexes.

Matushka, can we have robots at home?

No, we already have robots at home.

Robots at home:

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

You don’t crush the robot revolution, in Russia the robot revolution crushes you, apparently by falling on you.

[–] SunshineJogger@feddit.org 10 points 11 hours ago

Lol. The way both men trailed it makes it clear they were very much expecting this to happen

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

That could have gotten embarrassing if they hadn't had those two guys ready to smoothly cover the stage with a curtain. Close call!

They were going for "Aidol Fit-lair" but it was too obvious

[–] oyzmo@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Looked like it had quite a few drinks before going on stage 😆

The robot was trained on Russian social media videos.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 12 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

So telling how it kept walking after it was lying face down. No proprioception, no mems feedback, of course, you could tell that from the shuffle.

At best it seems like AI driving a remote control car :/

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It walks like one of those robots for children. Just shuffling around awkwardly. At least add a accelerometer or something. And when it falls it shuts off or at least go WHAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 hours ago

If it screamed and cursed as it fell down, I would probably give it a pass.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 1 points 10 hours ago

I wonder who ever thinks that's a good idea. Like you pick him up and have a laugh at it. Everyone saw it and everyone saw how it's clearly a shit robot. Just like that American counterpart Neo or what it's called. It's clearly shit, just have fun with it.

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 115 points 1 day ago

Initially, it walked well but people complained it looked too alien and creepy.

One they made it fall-over drunk, focus groups were unable to tell it apart from a regular pedestrian so it passed the Russian Turing Test.

He drinks a vodka drink

He plays an mp3 that reminds him of the good times.

He plays a YouTube that reminds him of the bad times.

[–] devdoggy@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

Chumbawamba played a protest in DC that I went to (not sure which one, 2002?). They were pretty progressive and just made it big on the radio with that one song.

[–] tetrachromacy@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago

He sings a song that reminds him of the vodka,

They just told the robot it got drafted.

I'd almost created a new account to upvote you again

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 56 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The dude trying to cover it up with the piece of cloth at the end was chef's kiss.

[–] SunshineJogger@feddit.org 4 points 11 hours ago

Yeah, the frantic amateurishness could not have been better choreographed

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 6 points 21 hours ago

Almost makes it believable if they call it a haha funny comedy act as a cover up.

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

It's too late! I saw everything.

[–] ozoned@piefed.social 16 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Are we at the stage where nation states show they TOO have an army of robots in a new arms race?

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 8 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I find this strangely comforting if this is the future of warfare. Basically amounts to using

these

To settle disputes.

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 11 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah but like, if humans aren't dying there's no stakes. Eventually one robot army must chew through the other to get to the human soldiers or civilians. Then you just eventually just have a robot army massacring a populous with no internal morality.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

It'll be like the Cold War, essentially an economic war.

[–] plyth@feddit.org 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

But it will only last weeks, not decades.

That depends on how strong each economy is. If both sides have sufficient ability to replace the bots, it could go on for some time.

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 48 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Someone's getting defenestrated over this

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 17 points 1 day ago

The best thing Putin has done is to bring the verb defenstrate back.

[–] unphazed@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Did the AI submit a call to Life Alert!?

[–] beemikeoak@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 8 hours ago

Help!

Help!

I've fallen and I....I.....

Rebooting.....

Help!...

[–] razorcandy@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A stagger that would have taken a human years of drinking to perfect. Very efficient. Only slightly less agile than its handlers.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 21 hours ago

This what happens when you use a vodka cell to power your AI.

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Poor robo! But the guy. With the sheet. I died.

We’ve seen everything. We’ve seen it all.

[–] Ghoelian@piefed.social 1 points 13 hours ago

What the hell is this website? Every time I press play it just takes me to a different video.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (2 children)

Frankly, if the thing is that untested, I'm not sure that I'd want to have the developers or the audience that close to it without shielding. And it should have a remote E-stop switch (though maybe it did here, and that's why it froze up).

You know those Boston Dynamics videos? Unless the stuff is pretty mature, they've got those protective walls or are interacting with the robots with hockey sticks.

Ex:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYwekersccY

EDIT: Actually, looking at the Russian video again, I think that the AIdol people don't have a remote E-stop button and were instead fumbling around with one built onto its back there, since that's when it stopped moving.

[–] Caesium@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

they keep bullying him in your example video ;=;

Guy in the front row: "hey, walk forward the same number of steps as there are R's in 'resurrection'."

Total terminator thing, off to the battlefield with it. Put it in a golf cart, maybe it can leave the foot on the gas 🤣
